Why Early Access?

“The current build is a playable alpha. It includes real-time voice chat (Whisper + TTS), basic Minecraft & Factorio agents (auto-mining, base-building), VRM/Live2D model import with lip-sync, screen-awareness tavern mode, and cross-platform clients (Windows/macOS/Linux + Web). You can jump in and chat or co-play right now, though you may encounter occasional performance hiccups or minor bugs—these are exactly what we want your help to iron out.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We plan for 3–6 months, depending on community feedback and development pace. We’ll post monthly updates and be transparent on Steam news. If feedback is strong, we may exit early; if more time is needed, we’ll explain why.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full release, we plan to keep expanding Project AIRI based on development progress and player feedback. Our current roadmap includes exploring broader agent-related experiences, improving stability and performance, polishing the core AI companion flow, and deepening integrations with features such as streaming tools, achievements, and workshop support where appropriate.

The exact scope and timing may change as we learn from Early Access feedback, and we will keep the community updated through Steam news and release notes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully functional core loop: import a model, talk to your AI, let her watch your screen or join you in Minecraft/Factorio. Everything runs locally via Nix or Tauri builds. Expect alpha-level stability—great for testing, not yet 100% polished.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Airi will remain Free to Play forever—no subscriptions, no paywalls.”
